so long story short i got my hands on a r1 i believe (this will be my first 3rd gen) for $500. car was stolen n blah blah just needs a motor and some interior trim. body is in good condition paint is just fading...

ok my question is.... when i buy the car. i know its going to have a salvaged title. so when i get it running again and the title becomes rebuilt, can i still mod it or does it have to remain all original???

if it matters i live in south florida

any help would be great. the 3rd gen rx7 has always been my dream car.

 

why would you not be able to mod it?

Rebuilt title or not,......if you own it, you can do whatever you want to it.

My FD has a rebuilt title(by me) and I've modded the **** out of it. Who's gonna stop you?

I'm in FL as well. All they did at the DMV was check my list of major parts needed for repair, and made sure all the vin numbers matched up. Took about 20 minutes.

 

thats good news lol thanks for the feedback.

i wasnt sure about it so i figured id ask. i didnt know if someone was going to inspect it cuz i heard rumor that to get the title rebuilt the car would have to be at factory specs.

just thought id get it cleared up before anything.

 

$500 is a great deal. I'd love to see some pics.

 

Yea, pics please. sounds like a good deal

 

I think you should be the one to decide with that...Whether to mod or not...

 

holy **** 500$ ??

pics or it didn't happen

 

well I would get it running in stock/near stock condition for the inspection. I wouldn't start modding until after you get the "rebuilt" sticker

 

advice taken. thanks

and pics will be coming soon. maybe 2maro in the morning

 

only reason it wouldnt happen is if the price goes too high other than that its happenin lol

no offense but no bs here. no point in bullshiting. im here for advice and help

 

im so heated.... i just went to see the car with my uncle ******* ppl that stole the car before hacked away under the hood. front bumper is bolted on but is flappy like a old ladies arms and the trunk was rusted due to sum idiot leaving the hatch open... ill post up the pics i took later on if any one still wants to see it. im so disappointed. i guess my dream car will have to wait...
i kno no 1 will believe me but o well i kno its the truth.

 

dude WTF where you expecting for 500 bucks???

 

still sounds good for $500

 

It would be on my trailer headed home if it was within 500 miles of me....
